More about Project GOAL
Project GOAL was founded in 2004 and is comprised of business, education and sports professionals whose mission is to facilitate the development of today's youth through positive tutoring, mentoring and coaching. We have served over 1,000 students and continue to target middle school students at the beginning and developmental stages of adolescence in an effort to reverse and eliminate the negative impacts of poverty, lack of positive and affordable programming and the poor social interactions that face them. Using soccer as an incentive, students strive to do better in school as they realize and develop a need to do well academically in order to gain the rewards of various soccer activities, training and experiences throughout the year. Through the efforts of our accredited, bilingual teachers and coaches, students develop the ambition and confidence necessary to achieve academic success and have a strong foundation for higher education or entering the work force.
